What Is ETA Certification?

ETA (European Technical Assessment) is an official technical assessment issued by a European Technical Assessment Body (TAB) in accordance with the EAD (European Assessment Document). It is primarily intended for construction products that are not fully covered by harmonized European standards (hEN), such as chemical anchors, rebar anchoring systems, and high-performance structural adhesives.

An ETA is not based on a single test, but on a comprehensive and rigorous evaluation process. The assessment typically includes verification of load-bearing performance, application in cracked and non-cracked concrete, installation conditions in dry and wet holes, long-term durability, corrosion resistance, fire exposure, and installation safety requirements. The core value of ETA lies in providing a unified and traceable European technical basis to verify a product's structural safety and reliability under defined conditions of use, while clearly specifying its approved application scope.

What Is the CE Mark?

The CE Mark indicates that a product complies with the essential requirements of the EU Construction Products Regulation (CPR) relating to safety, health, and environmental protection. For chemical anchors and rebar anchoring products, ETA serves as the key technical basis for obtaining the CE Mark.

Once a product has successfully completed the ETA process, the manufacturer can prepare a Declaration of Performance (DoP) based on the approved assessment and legally affix the CE Mark to the product and its packaging. This enables the product to be placed on the EU market and circulated freely. The CE Mark demonstrates regulatory compliance, transparent and traceable performance data, alignment with European engineering design requirements, and enhanced trust in international markets.

Good Use GU-500SD Successfully Obtains ETA Certification and CE Mark

GU-500SD epoxy chemical anchor has successfully passed rigorous testing conducted by an independent European assessment body and has obtained ETA (European Technical Assessment) certification in accordance with EAD 330087-01-0601, the European Assessment Document applicable to bonded fasteners. Based on the approved ETA results, GU-500SD has subsequently achieved the CE Mark, confirming its compliance with EU construction product regulations.

The ETA assessment for GU-500SD epoxy anchor was carried out based on verified test results and approved conditions of use as defined in EAD 330087-01-0601. The assessment confirms that GU-500SD epxoy anchor is suitable for applications in non-cracked concrete and for installation in dry and wet holes, meeting the requirements for rebar connections and heavy-duty anchoring applications. The product has also been evaluated for fire resistance and long-term durability performance. By obtaining ETA certification and the CE Mark, GU-500SD epoxy anchor demonstrates stable and reliable structural performance within its approved scope of use, while fully complying with European regulatory requirements for chemical anchoring products. This certification further strengthens its professional credibility and acceptance in international engineering applications.

Why Are ETA Certification and the CE Mark Important for Engineering Applications?

ETA certification and the CE Mark are more than market access requirements, they form the foundation of engineering quality and structural safety. These systems indicate that a product has undergone strict performance testing by third-party European organizations and has passed factory production control (FPC) audits, ensuring consistent and reliable quality throughout manufacturing and supply. For engineers, consultants, and contractors, selecting products with ETA certification and the CE Mark helps reduce design and installation risks, ensures compliance with European and international regulations, and improves overall efficiency during project approval, construction, and final acceptance.

As global construction markets continue to demand higher standards of safety and regulatory compliance, ETA certification and the CE Mark have become essential benchmarks for high-performance anchoring systems. The successful certification of GU-500SD epoxy anchor reflects our strong commitment to product development, quality management, and international compliance. Moving forward, we will continue to uphold rigorous standards, advance product innovation, and pursue global certifications to provide safe, reliable, and trustworthy anchoring solutions for customers worldwide.
